Thanks Tony. I look in on the railway stuff for lots of things, especially scenery etc, but forgot about looking for figures. Doh!
Gaz, some of those links look favourable. Just a shame the ones I like are not in stock.
Thanks for the help so far guys.
After looking at some of the railway figures I am a little disappointed by the price they are for up to around six figures. Although more suitable in pose and costume etc. they are expensive for what i want.
This is why I was looking initially at all the many soldier box sets available. I don't mind painting them or doing some minor surgery.
Any more ideas guys?
